No, and its politics are different, too. It's an overtly populist movie. The gangster movies are more complicated. They may critique political corruption, or crooked cops, or religious hypocrisy, but they seem a lot more comfortable with order than Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde shoot the cops. The Corleones buy them off.
